Nothing makes me happier than seeing a drunken Retard talk loads of ish’ and then get his ass whooped!!!

Having said that… Nelson took his lumps like a man and I hope to see you fighting again soon in the UFC. It was an entertaining fight, I thought.

Now, Junie… one can only hope that Nover is the “lightweight Anderson Silva” and opens a whole case of Whoop ASS on his ass! Again, however, it WAS really entertaining and I hope to see him actually fight and not talk ish’!

JJ cmon man, its one thing to make mistakes like we all do, but its another thing to be dumb enough to make these mistakes on national tv when your dream is on the line and your aware of all this beforehand. its takes a special kind of idiot to do this when they know well ahead of time what the consequences are from past seasons and cameras are all around. thats why i like the show, it weeds out the bar room brawlers from the honorable warriors and its why alcohol is available. in the face of immature temptation who really wants to achieve their dream. would you really be dumb enough to get into that situation if you were on tv chasing your 1 shot at that contract dream ?

It’s the same each season of TUF, someone gets loaded, tears up the house(UFC’s repair costs must be VERY high), and Dana has to step in. It would seem that fighters that dont conduct themselves as professionals would be kicked out forthwith. Junie’s probably out. We will all find out when the next episode airs, probably in the first two minutes. If junie isn’t kicked to the curb for his TOTALLY unprofessional actions, as in this incident there was NO alcohol involved, then I will agree with the favoritism comments. The JT thing last season pales in comparison to Browning’s actions.

Junie has to go NOW!

You people are ridiculous, I didn’t realize this blog was read by so many saints and angels. People have drinks and make mistakes, and Shane manned up to his mistakes. Degrading them for acting out on TV which is something you know nothing about in my opinion makes you lower than someone who gets a little crazy when they drink. Keyboard warriors are so tough, it continues to amaze me.

I take pleasure in watching these turd bumps get their clocks cleaned after talking loads of trash when their drunk. I can only hope that Junie will be next.

I think part of the reason why Dana didn’t pick Gary Busey Lite to fight first was because he wasn’t picking on one specific lightweight.
He wanted to fight everybody.
I figure B.J. has set Nelson straight,and with his pull in the UFC will be able to get Nelson another fight,even though it’ll probably be against Sherk.

Well, the truth is that some of these guys seem to think the show is “The Ultimate drinker” and truthfully, Shane, your comments about your drinking tolerance don’t help your cause. It’s not about your tolerance, you have to simply admit you drank too much, period.

I am not sure that Dana should have let Junie stay, however. I think this smacks of favoritism. I think he sees that if Junie cleans up he could be a huge force in the UFC, so he played favorites.

Why is Dana putting up with this Junie person.I lost some respect for the UFC after watching that show.Saying that you were drunk is no excuse,no body made them drink.How can you call a bunch of drunks,bullys,and thugs pro fighters.

Yeah, way to rebound your image Shane… I can’t say the same for Junie, he’s really looking for trouble and has no place in the UFC right now, even if he were to win TUF…. I hope Shane gets his 2nd shot in the UFC

People that get drunk and act like he did are the ones i love to see tap. He thought he was so bad-ass when he was full of alcohol, but (as usual with his type) can’t back it up when the time comes. If i saw myself acting that stupid on national tv i don’t think i’d ever drink again.

The comment’s that Shane made here were great. He said some really respectful and honorable stuff today. He seems to have cleared up some issues that didn’t get aired also. He and Junie both were acting like two little buttholes. That’s what hard drinking does to certain people. Shane made good on his part today. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens next.

Having not watched the episode from last night, I may have a bit of a distorted view on this, but I must say that Nelson came off pretty classy in this interview. Who knows, maybe if I had watched last night this could look different but apologizing for your drunk antics and talking up the guy you fought and lost to shows some maturity.
